Leeds United have a problem position so what about another potential solution?
Leeds United’s renaissance did not last long, with their 3-0 win against Bristol City a fading memory following Sheffield United’s away win on Saturday.
The Blades went top of the table as a result of their latest victory, with Leeds down in fifth place as things stand, and the Whites have a problem position that needs further work as the games come thick and fast.
While Vurnon Anita has his fans at Elland Road, and there is no doubting his work ethic and innate talent, the Dutchman does not do his best work at left-back.
With Cameron Borthwick-Jackson quickly falling out of favour and Gaetano Berardi’s disciplinary record rearing its ugly head once more Leeds boss Thomas Christiansen has a decision to make for the upcoming match against Derby County, so what chance a left-field decision?
Stuart Dallas knows how to play at left-back from his time with Northern Ireland and his failure to break into this Leeds’ starting line-up is increasingly baffling given his ability and his impact when he does get the rare opportunity to shine.
The 26-year-old is one of Leeds’ most passionate players and he would do a job wherever he was asked to play.
So far this season Dallas has had to make do with a bit-part role but that could change if Christiansen makes a brave move.
Given the chances he has given others, the least he can do is try Dallas at left-back and see if it solves one of Leeds’ major problems.
